[edit] Notes

  • A The codes 0207 & 0208 do not exist: London is under a single code, 020.
  • B 07 can also prefix "personal" non-geographical numbers
  • C Southampton numbers begin 80, Portsmouth begin 92.
  • D This change happened prior to PhoneDay (April 16, 1995); the new code is not to be confused with the current allocations of dialling codes commencing 02 to 09. Numbers in Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, Tyneside, and Wearside were migrated between 1982, and 1988.
